TFC/DCS OCT 28th Newsletter


Revelation

Recommended Posts

To be honest, I am mostly looking forward to EDGE/NTTR. While all the planes I have may be nice, the very inconsistent performance makes some of them almost useless (I am looking at you Mustang, dropping from 40fps to 3 whenever I pull the trigger). Therefore, I am not that inclined to buy new planes when I may not even be able to properly fly most of them (although that BF109 looks so tempting... Screw it, I am gonna buy it anyways).

 

Don´t take this the wrong way, I just can hardly await when EDGE finally lands - and I think ED feels the same..

 

So yeah, love the screens (earth curvature!), and hope EDGE will bring more consistent performance and all the other little gimmicks we dream about. I also think multi-crew support will open up an entirely new dimension to this simulation.

 

I am looking forward to christmas/Q1 2015, keep on rocking guys!

Tornado, hopefully we get it before 2016.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but multi-crew capability is scheduled to be introduced

together with the L39, right?

 

Yeap. I'm guessing that is another bit in SiTh's hint below.

 

2.0 marks huge changes for the sim, one of those is EDGE.

 

This is the second time I see you hinting this with 2.0.

 

I'm thinking (hoping) CA is getting the much needed playable grunt.

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Really nice newsletter, thank you ED! Tons of new exciting planes inbound! Very much looking forward to the Flanker, Albatros and MiG-15... these will be all mine! :clap_2:

 

However, seems like good news never come without any bad ones... Sad face about 2.0. I was hoping that mid-November, at the same time as Flanker release, might be a realistic estimate, and from previous newsletter, I've got the impression it's even ED's plan (dunno, maybe just wishful thinking on my side).

 

Now, the careful wording of the latest newsletter makes an impression more like "We are really trying to make this by the end of this year, but unless we are really insanely lucky, it won't be here before 2015." Feels like a little deja-vu. How many times now? I've stop counting already.

 

I'm happy that EDGE finally reached a crucial milestone, but let's admit it, this constant shifting of release year gets tiresome.

Nope. I wish I bookmarked that post by you. Yes, I know that saying about assuming but there was definitely some thing there between the lines and the wink you testers use to tease us to no end. :P No, I'm not trying to hold you accountable.

 

I'm just excited at what is to come.

The new engine really brings out the metallic look of every aircraft in the new screenshots.

 

ED's t Tornado model was already nice, now add better lighting, specular and reflection and it looks like a completely new model.

IMO DCS World 2.0 should be the first on the priority list, because we already have enough aircrafts to fly.

But thx for the updates.

 

My thoughts as well,,,,, not to sound unappreciative, because i am not,,, If I had a preference, we have plenty of aircraft to choose from at the moment, focusing resources on EDGE would be 1st order of priority for me

Who told you that engine coders are working on modules ? Quote from dev or tester please.

Cool update.

True, i've overlooked the fact that not everyone can be shifted to work on something different in this case EDGE.

But i also think they would do theirselves a favour by releasing EDGE as soon as possible, so that was my initial thought, but i'm sure they know that.

Anyway didn't want to sound ungrateful. ED is taking it seriously so they want to make it as good as possible, kudos for that.

Sometimes i feel that if by some freak of the universe Jesus came along, some of you guys would feel compelled to tell him where to park his donkey. ;)

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Don't worry, I'm gonna tell him that as soon as he shows up, which, by the way, is happening any minute now... at least that's what they keep saying last 2000 years or so.

 

And yet we whine about EDGE being delayed some insignificant three years... shame on us! :D

I see the State of Nevada: High Desert State Prison is showing on one of the map screens (close to the Creech AFB).... do we get police cars for playing the big prison escape?

 

Also do we get desert camo for all ground vehicles?

 

I hope ED or 3rd Party do a civilian pack of objects/vehicles one day, that would be cool.

I would suggest valet parking......but that's just me.

Thanx for posting! But is there a picture with the whole USA underlying as background? then we would have something to compare with.

 

Probably wouldn't make much sense to show it in the context of the entire US.

 

Looking at Google maps and ballparking it using the relative positions of Nellis and Groom Lake as guides, it appears that the map is about 1/2 the total size of Nevada. If you want an equally rough visual approximation, just take HALF of the red section of this map:
